Leak test

Does anyone know if Humber does a leak test prior discharge on all patients or just if the suspect a leak by symptoms?

Thanks :) 

I don't believe leak tests are standard but this would be a great question to check with your surgeon.

I don't know about Humber, but in Ottawa I was told it was done in the operating room, while you are still under.

Dr Hagen performed my surgery at Humber and he did a leak test while still in surgery.  Hope this helps.

All surgeons perform a leak test while doing surgery while they are inside of you. 

I don't believe that Ontario centres standardly perform a next day leak test as I had when I had my surgery in Michigan.

Thanks everyone !

My surgeon did the leak test a few days after surgery.
